Yes, he also said they deserved to be there because they beat #17 Kent State. hahahahahahhahahah. didn't Kentucky beat them too? Lets throw Kentucky against NIU and gimme the Big Blue -3I loved Jordan Lynch's comment on Gameday tonight. His quote was; "We deserve to play in the BCS. We've won a ton of games, we won our conference, and we go into every MAC game with a big target on our back, so yes we deserve to be there." Really Jordan? You have a target on your back against all the MAC teams? That's like saying you are the most picked on kid in your homeschool. That's like saying you won an ice cream eating contest against someone who is lactose intolerant. I can't wait to see Florida State run the out of the stadium.

FYI...the other teams you just compared NIU to were undefeated. NIU lost a game to...[clears throat]...Iowa...[clears throat]...that's 4-8 Iowa.i just don't see the big deal here. Hawaii, Boise (2x i think), and TCU have all been non-AQ teams that made the BCS. They don't deserve it any less than those teams. NIU has been more than solid for some time now and, along with ND, have the longest current winning streak in NCAAF
This is hilarious. Who said Louisville is deserving??? Neither team is deserving. The current BCS is a HUGE problem. Only the NC and Fiesta bowl matchups are good.You guys need to lighten up some.. Go Huskies! They are more deserving than Louisville...
And by the way, who did NIU drop a game to?NIU beat Buffalo 45-3. UGA beat Buffalo 45-23.
I have no issue with it. It's not even in the top 10 biggest BCS game screw ups.
"The Worst team in the Big Ten" Iowa...And by the way, who did NIU drop a game to?
Insult to major football teams...thats exactly the term I was looking for. Well saidI hope NIU is completely destroyed. The only way this game would be fun to watch would be if the old Cumberland College record were to fall. Putting them in a BCS game is a joke on football fans and an insult to major football teams.
And isn't that sad? To avoid lawsuits brought by schools with no chance at the BCS money, we're now guaranteed a chance at one good bowl game a year.Wait until the playoff system starts and all the directional schools feel left out. It's way past time for the major conferences to separate from the NCAA and form their own system. I know it's been tried before, but maybe it would work this time. Otherwise, we could end up with federally-mandated revenue sharing in college football. Wouldn't that be great? We could even draw names out of a big fishbowl to determine who gets which recruit. Parity is so interesting.I love how suddenly the Orange Bowl became some sacrosanct entity. People seem to forget that once it #1 and #2 were selected, the BCS Bowls were NEVER about placing the most qualified teams in the remaining spots. The BCS itself put this rule in place so it wouldn't get hit with an anti-trust lawsuit.
Not sad to me considering the Orange Bowl is just another bowl game. Everything past the BCS Championship is just another bowl game.And isn't that sad?

I doubt the people running the Orange Bowl, the same who will be running the Alabama/Notre Dame game, will be complaining much.I wonder if NIU will have more than 1000 fans there. The ESPN crew said something about their average attendance this year being 15,600 per game. This is a joke. Who wants to watch FSU-NIU, or even Florida-Louisville. Krymsonman
